Martin Jol: Ramadan Sobhi could play for Manchester United

Former Tottenham manager Martin Jol believes that Stoke City’s new signing Ramadan Sobhi could play for Manchester United in the future.

The English Premier League side announced on Monday the signing of the Egypt international winger from Egyptian side Al Ahly in a 6 million euro deal.

Jol, who currently manages Al Ahly, urged Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to keep an eye on Sobhi, as he believes that the 19-year-old winger has the potential to move to Old Trafford.

“I sent a message to Jose Mourinho, who is in touch with me, asking him to keep an eye on Ramadan with Stoke City as he is a brilliant player and he can play at Manchester United after that,” Al Ahly manager said.

The former Tottenham boss insisted that he tried to persuade Sobhi to stay in Egypt, but the player insisted on leaving.

“I tried to keep Sobhi in my squad but he insisted on taking his chance in the Premier League.

“I hope he will succeed in England and I will always support him. I am confident he is ready to play in the English top flight,” Jol added.
